Holiness will be my gain


Why do I hold on so tightly?
To the perishable and tangible
To the things that pass away?
I’m distracted by the visible

Give me eyes to see.

Give me eyes to see your face
To know you more each day
That this may be-- my reality
My focus, come what may

Give me more of Thee.

Teach me to walk with you
Immerse me in your Spirit
Hearing the heartbeat of my Lord
Finding my pace within it.

Draw me closer Lord, I pray.

My efforts are not in vain
Empower me to follow through
Your holiness will be my gain
When I let go of ALL… but YOU.
